CSCAMM

Welcome to the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM). The primary goal of the Center is to foster research activity that highlights the interplay between novel computational algorithms and mathematical modeling, as complementary avenues to theory and experiment. To stimulate such research activity, CSCAMM fosters collaborative research which involves local scientists, graduate students and visiting post-docs together with world renowned scholars. CSCAMM sponsors an active visitors program through a series of seminars, lectures and workshops and it supports an educational program with a series of tutorials, courses and active involvement with the AMSC graduate program.
